Diapers by Chris Hybrid Fitted Review

I’m pretty biased, but it just so happens that I think my prize is the best. I’ve partnered up with Diapers by Chris to offer a hybrid fitted diaper! Until recently, I did not understand the hype around a hybrid fitted diaper. It’s not waterproof… so how on earth could I let my Eudora run around the house without a cover? And what’s the point of having a beautiful diaper if you just have to cover it up anyway?

Ha! Shows what I know. Chris sent me a diaper to facilitate this review, but it absolutely did not impact my opinion.

About Diapers by Chris

Chris is a WAHM diaper maker out of Louisiana. She doesn’t do stockings. Instead, she typically does her diapers made to order. The downside is that this means that it takes a bit to get. The upside? You get exactly what you want, and it’s made with perfect, breathtakingly beautiful craftsmanship. Plus, since it’s a WAHM diaper shop, you’re getting something made in the USA and you’re supporting a small business.

What’s a Hybrid Fitted?

A hybrid fitted is a thick, squishy, bulky diaper that is absolutely desirable. It’s absorbent fabric and a beautiful outside with a hidden layer of fleece. That hidden layer of fleece is what makes the diaper water resistant: instead of letting the moisture go straight through the diaper (and onto your couch, of course), it works by repelling the moisture back into the diaper, which makes it more efficient at holding moisture. When it’s time to change the bum, the outside of the diaper will be a bit damp. (Damp, not saturated.)

What’s Amazing about the Hybrid Fitted

I love that the hybrid fitted diaper is a beautifully breathable diaper. It’s the best of both worlds: the bum gets some air time with no PUL or TPU trapping any moisture, but my house doesn’t get covered with little girl pee. Not only does this diaper have the amazing features of a hybrid fitted from just anywhere, but it’s from Diapers by Chris. That means I’m getting amazing quality. The inner is a gorgeous deep blue bamboo velour that complements the colors on the outside of the diaper. The snaps are a perfect green to match the fabric. The stitching is straight, the elastics are high quality, and it’s impeccably made. And, as an aside, it’s the cutest thing ever on my little Eudora. It fits so well that you’d think I sent Chris my daughter’s measurements. (I didn’t.)

What’s Not Amazing about the Hybrid Fitted

As much as I say it defeats the entire purpose of a cute diaper to cover it up (and that’s why my kids don’t wear pants), this diaper is so squishy and bulky that it will never fit under a pair of jeans. My daughter doesn’t exactly have any junk in her trunk, but that diaper makes her too bootylicious to fit under anything. But you know what? I’m perfectly okay with that. I’ve got other diapers that are trim enough to go under jeans. Besides, it defeats the purpose of the hybrid fitted diaper being breathable if I’m hiding it, anyway.

In a Nutshell?

If you don’t have anything in your stash from Diapers by Chris, you need one. Seriously. It may cost more than some mass produced diapers out there, but it’s seriously worth it. It’s seriously beautiful… and functional, too.

How do you get one? Well, there are a couple of options: 1.) Wait until someone who already has her perfect, customized diaper is willing to part with it (fat chance!). 2.) Go visit Diapers by Chris on Facebook and order your own. 3.) Enter to win a hybrid fitted of your very own right here!
